An Amber Alert for a father who was accused of taking his son from daycare after a physical fight with the boy's mother has been canceled, authorities in Connecticut say.

The alert was canceled around 4 p.m.

Police said 27-year-old Frederick McCluskey abducted his 4-year-old son, also named Frederick, just before 9 a.m. Friday in the Ulster County town of Marlboro and has threatened to hurt himself or the child.

According to DailyFreeman.com, McCluskey and his son were found, safe, and the father was taken into custody.

New York and Connecticut officials both issued the Amber Alert, and it was posted on electronic message boards on Connecticut's highways by the Department of Transportation.
